How to Make Bridal Hair Pieces
One of the most important parts of a bride's wedding attire is her hair. And what better way to make a bride's hair stand out than with a beautiful bridal hairpiece. Bridal hairpieces can be made in the comfort of your home and done easily and cost efficiently.
Collect the items you'll need:
- Headband
- Craft glue
- Decorations (fabric flowers, ribbons, rhinestones, etc...)
- Sheer piece of fabric or veil (optional)
- Lay the headband on a clean, flat surface like a table. Make sure the headband is a similar shade to your hair, white, or the color of your bridal hairpiece decorations.
- Spread craft glue onto the headband in a thin, even layer. If you plan to work slowly, add glue to small parts of the headband as you need it so the glue does not dry on you before you can add all the decorations.
- Add decorations to the headband. This could be a row of fabric flowers or an array of rhinestones. You can add as little or as many decorations as you find attractive. Coordinate your decorations with your wedding dress, wedding colors, and wedding theme.
- Let the decorations dry completely to the headband. You may have to wait as little as a few hours or as much as 48 hours depending on the type and amount of craft glue used. Look on the glue's package for drying times. Plan accordingly to ensure your bridal hairpiece is ready by your wedding.
- Flip the headband over and repeat steps two through five if you would like decorations on the entire headband and not solely the top and sides.
- Dab craft glue on the underside of the headband.
- Press the veil or sheer fabric against the glue. Hold in place until secure.
- Let the veil dry completely to the headband.
- Wear your bridal hairpiece!
